RE: IBM i 7.3 TR5

This is the addition that has me excited, and it is already available.

LFTP: As part of the RPM-based offering set, the LFTP utility is now
available. LFTP is a sophisticated file transfer program. While it can
serve as a command-line FTP utility, it understands a number of
protocols including ftp, sftp, http, and others. It comes with a variety
of features, such as the ability to create site mirrors or perform
multiple tasks in parallel.

A couple quick tests and it looks like this will greatly simplify sftp
using username and password.

In the tradition of recent Technology Refreshes, IBM i Services are

added and

enhanced, enabling useful SQL-based alternatives to IBM i commands and
APIs:
The ACTIVE_JOB_INFO UDTF offers new optional input parameters and 70
new return columns. With these enhancements, administrators can more
easily ask systems management-oriented questions using SQL.
The JOB_DESCRIPTION_INFO view returns one row for each job

description.

This service adds to the set of work management topics that can be

managed

using SQL.
New capabilities are added for the database engineer:
The QSYS2.GENERATE_SQL_OBJECTS() procedure is added as a Db2 for i
provided database service. With this procedure, Db2 for i analyzes
dependent objects to produce perfectly ordered generated SQL, enabling

a

significant productivity boost.
